Space Brothers

Synopsis

In the summer of 2006, brothers Mutta and Hibito Nanba see what they believe is a UFO heading toward the Moon. That moment inspires their shared dream of becoming astronauts—Hibito wants to reach the Moon, while Mutta, hoping to outdo his brother, sets his sights on Mars. Years later, their lives have diverged: Mutta works at an auto company, but Hibito is poised to become the first Japanese person to set foot on the Moon. After Mutta is fired, a surprising opportunity arises when JAXA accepts his application for the next astronaut selection. Despite his doubts, he resolves not to let this chance slip away and begins a demanding journey to fulfill the promise they made 19 years ago.
